We caught up with the, newly minted, Gordon West Plate Final between Larne and Inishowen at The Glynn on Saturday afternoon.
Larne were strong favourites for this one having already defeated their visitors twice in the league this season and they were quick off the mark with a try after two minutes from Charlie Patterson for a 5 – 0 lead.
Larne continued to apply pressure and five minutes later a break ended with Ryan Erskine nipping over for Philip Andrews to convert for a 12 – 0 lead.
Inishowen enjoyed a period of pressure in the Larne 22 but the Larne defence held firm and they broke up field for Andrews to add a penalty to extend the lead to 15 – 0.
A storming finish to the first half saw the home team run in five more tries as Geoffrey McKinty, Eddy Hunter and Jamie Ross . . .
